Name a popular American song from as far back as, say, the American Revolution: David Crohan, an extraordinary member of that rare breed known as The Piano Man, can play it. By heart.

And he’ll do it all, as in 200-plus years of the greatest hits of popular American music, on July 4 at Café L’Europe, 330 S. County Road, where Crohan is resident pianist during the social season.

He’ll be joined by additional musical talents, too.

That’s because the July 4 festivities at Café L’Europe also are set to include the performing prowess of chanteuse Charmaine Forde, the Mel Urban Trio and special guest George Tandy, keyboardist and music producer.

Then there will be all the singing. Everyone at Café L’Europe on the Fourth of July usually sings along at some point during the evening; it’s hard not to.

The restaurant also will feature a special three-course prix-fixe menu ($49.50 a person) with choices for each course, plus offer its regular a la carte menu and small-plates bar menu.

Café L’Europe’s July 4 celebration is 6-9 p.m., so attendees who want to see the 9 p.m.-ish fireworks should be able to do so (see www.wpb.orgfor more information about downtown West Palm Beach’s fireworks and Fourth on Flagler celebration).
